Will there ever be a 6 spd. TL-s ???
#7
trying to get a lil V-I
will there be an '04 TL though? I thought that's when the TSX was going to replace it.
2001CL - the news about the TSX came several weeks ago. It was featured in the major automotive magazines (C&D, Motortrend, etc) Also I'm sure there is lots of information on the a-tl.com board.

If they do make a 6 speed TL-S, i'm pretty sure i'd trade my CL in for the TL. Four doors is soooo much nicer, and the back seat area of the TL is plentiful and yummy, much better than the accomodations in the CLS.
Four doors OWNZ joo

there will be a 04 tl for sure... the TSX is just there for the integera 4-door replacement.
If they kill of the CLS, then im 100% sure they will put the 6-speed in the new TL.

I hate reading about "killing the CLS". I know that CL sales are down (only 9000 YTD), but I think that Acura *needs* a sport coupe in their lineup. The addition of the 6spd should only help sales. A new redesign wouldn't hurt either. Just reading some of the posts on here, you can tell that people love their CLS's. It's something that a single guy like me will buy before they have to move to a 4 door (TL) or god forbid, a mini-van/suv. I'm too old for a RSX, and too poor for a Bmw 330 or //M3

I read on vtec.net that they are having a hard time keeping up w/ the current CLS 6spd demand. The sales manager from the dealership that I bought my CLS from said that it might be hard to locate a SMR 6spd w/ parchment because Acura dealers are only alloted 1 (one) 6spd a month. If they can't make 'em fast enough to keep 'em on the lot, why would they kill it.
Since the CL shares some parts w/ the Accord (and is probably built on the same production line), Acura can probably handle the low CL demand. As long as they make the Accord coupe, the CLS can ride the Accord's coattails, so to speak.
I think we'll be seeing some interesting things from Honda/Acura soon, and I hope that we'll see a redesigned CLS in the future.

TL)...so to be safe i wanna check if there will be a 6 spd. TL...i just found out at the TL boards the TL-S will be redesigned for '04 and have 280HP if not more...hmmm...makes me wonder, i wonder what the new cL's would look like (if there is one)...i hope they're smaller and lighter...

It's almost like buying new electronic equiptment (computers, etc). Next years models are always faster, better, cheaper, with more available options/accessories

Most companies wait as long as possible to release new model info.
If Acura did a Press Release about a 300HP 4WD TL with 6-Speed manual coming out in March, how many of the current ones do you think they would sell over the next few months?
